Hot Cross Buns

Ladylike style is definitely back with a vengeance in the fashion world, and beauty trends are no exception. Refined, sophisticated looks are finally returning to our wardrobes and the bun is the perfect hairdo to complement these styles. Effortless and chic, this hairstyle can easily be worn for a day in the office or drinks on the town. Bad hair days be gone by simply showing that hair whose boss and twisting it up in a simple bun. Practically a universally flattering style, the bun creates a lifting effect to any face shape, raising cheek bones and elongating the neck. This versatile 'do is also great for lazy Saturdays, after workout sessions, quick shopping excursions, or any other no-fuss occasion. When going casual, make it more bohemian by forgetting your comb and simply fasten those textured locks into a disheveled twist, securing the very unruly tresses with bobby pins. Try not to put too much effort with this style, it's these disorderly elements that make this 'do really turn some heads. For evening, try a more traditional ballerina bun, or for the more whimsical gals, twist a braided pony tail into a bun. Don't be afraid to add a vintage hair comb to really add some flair to this style for evening. Get creative and play with your options, because let's face it, effortless sophistication is always fashionable.
